Historical note
The monument to Maxim Gorky was erected on the embankment named after him in Yevpatoriya, commemorating the writer’s visit to Crimea in 1891. The sculptural composition with a fountain was designed as part of the coastal boulevard’s architectural and park ensemble, which became a popular recreation spot.
